Naruto and Shikamaru have just raced to tell Kakashi to stop the match, and Naruto's sensei says... no. There's nothing to worry about, and that's why they got here late. Gaara continues making signs inside his Sand Shell, which is still deflecting his best efforts to crack it, usually with sharp spikes. It's pretty awesome to watch Sasuke go. Sasuke's not as upset by the drawback as I might think. Since Gaara's busted out his own time-intensive Jutsu, Sasuke takes the chance to do the same. Cut to an Anbu in the forest, whose hair is showing, so I'm pretty sure he's not Kabuto, and the Anbu squad seems out and about to hunt for something. What they missed was the huge mob of Sound and Sand Ninjas. The Anbu just don't impress me. Sakura asks why they got to the arena late, and rather than answering outright, just says to watch Sasuke. Boy Wonder backflips up onto the arena wall and clings there, firing up his own Jutsu. Gaara's being crazy and batshit inside his Shell, which puts a crimp in the Sand Ninjas' plan, and Kankuro wants to rabbit. They don't seem to realize that Shino heard the magic 'p' word. In the forest, the Sand Ninja are laying down a huge Summoning Circle.
At the Arena, we see just what Kakashi taught Sasuke, a physical activation Jutsu that also explains the Taijutsu training. Kakashi's no slouch. The Chakra streaming off his hand is leaving gouges in the ground. Kakashi's original Jutsu - Chidori: One Thousand Birds! Sasuke puts his fist through the Shell and the arena goes silent. Lightning Blade - So hardcore it can cut through lightning. Poor Lee mopes that he couldn't have pulled that stunt off, and envies Sasuke combining effort and genius. The Sand Ninjas are in position. Naruto's jealous he can't do the Lightning Blade, but can summon Gamabunta, and that's something, right? Of course right! Inside the Shell, Gaara asks his mother what this warm stuff is, and it's his own blood, which he freaks out over. Sasuke has to fire up that Lightning Blade to pull out of the Shell, and he also pulls out a sort of amorphous demon arm. Gah! Kankuro asks about the Perfect Possession, and how the first time he saw it he couldn't eat. There's a horrible scream from the inside of the Shell, and it starts to crack, turning soft around Gaara. The Sand Ninja's got a bad shoulder wound, which does nothing for his psychoses. Apparently Sasuke hit him mid-transformation into the... thing.
In the stands, one of the Anbu puts his hand on a spectator in front of him, who seems to pass out (if he's lucky) and makes a sign. Some of the sharper Genin realize it's a sleep Genjutsu, which some of the sharper Ninjas (Kakashi, Guy, and Sakura - go, girl!) realize and block with their Chakra. We get a long look of realization between the Kages. The Kazekage's body guard spirit him away, and drop a grenade behind them. At that signal, it all breaks loose. The Sound Ninja rush in from their positions, the Sand Ninjas make ready to summon, and the Kabuto-Anbu make their play. Hang tight! I bet it gets worse before it gets better.
